From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"Intermediate fourth tier?"

Ignoring the notification that 10 reward points had been deducted from his ear, Chu Xuan continued, "Currently, it seems that the gene lock has at least four levels, and each level is further divided into at least three sub-levels. Does the intermediate level involve gene recombination?"

at this time.

Chu Xuan didn't want to die anymore.

Besides the path of Qi cultivation, unlocking the gene lock can also solve his problem. Once he reaches the intermediate stage of the fourth rank, he might be able to recombine his own genes, thereby changing his current state of being unable to express emotions normally.

"A gene lock? A peculiar cultivation method."

Jiang Liu seemed thoughtful. "Regarding genes, I studied Western medicine with a friend, so I understand them somewhat. However, judging from your performance, Zheng Zha, it seems more like an explosive power, similar to the 'Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique,' somewhat bordering on unorthodox methods..."

However, the fact that genes can recombine at the fourth level... is like a 'turn from evil to good,' directly pointing to the essential structural composition of 'fate' within life itself.

At this point, Jiang Liu pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what kind of cultivation system it is, they are all theoretically interconnected. If the first level of gene lock is to unlock biological instincts and the second level is to control the physical body, then the third level involves the primordial spirit, which is the brain level."

As for the fourth order—

Reaching the third stage represents the limit of a person's physical capabilities. The fourth stage involves altering the structure of one's genes, which cannot be achieved solely through physical means. It likely requires cultivation at the level of 'sex,' encompassing the spiritual, willpower, and mental aspects.

Speaking of this, Jiang Liu thought of the Reverse Life Triple Technique, whose first, second, and third levels are similar in form to the first, second, and third levels of the Gene Lock.

Not entirely identical, but they do correspond.

From the perspective of gene lock, the path of reverse life triple does not seem to be aimed at "reaching the heavens". From the perspective of the cultivation concept of reverse life triple is to reverse the innate qi to seek a glimmer of life, it is aimed at the goal of "immortality".

However, based on Jiang Liu's current cultivation experience and knowledge, Tongtian and Changsheng cannot be equated.

With the physical body already fully transformed into Qi, if the Reverse Life Triple Realm wants to go further, it really needs to break through by recombining and improving the genetic level.

“Now, try activating your gene lock. Start with the first level, let me feel it,” Jiang Liu said to Zheng Zha.

"Fighting here?"

Zheng Zha thought Jiang Liu wanted to test his current strength.

"Just start it. I'll observe it. No need for combat."

Jiang Liu shook his head.

"Oh."

Zheng Zha nodded and obediently activated the first-level gene lock state. A powerful aura surged from his body, scaring Zhang Jie, Zhan Lan and the others into retreating!

After completing the Small Heavenly Circuit of internal energy cultivation, constructing alchemical array patterns with vampire energy, and coordinating them with the Primordial Chaos Method, Zheng Zha's combat power has undergone a qualitative leap!

After unlocking the first-stage gene lock, his strength is comparable to Lu Jin's current full-force strength!

"Don't resist, let me see what's going on."

As he spoke, Jiang Liu extended a magnetic field.

When the Taoist's magnetic field entered Zheng Zha's body, the other party's body trembled and instinctively wanted to resist, but he immediately suppressed it.

Thirty seconds later, Jiang Liu realized the true nature of this stage of gene lock—

It's quite similar to the first level of the Reverse Life Triple!

To make a comparison, the first stage of reverse rebirth is equivalent to an incomplete gene lock, and it also moves in the direction of "Qi transformation".

"Activate the second stage," Jiang Liu continued.

"it is good!"

As Zheng Zha nodded, a blood-red aura emanated from his entire body, his heart pounded like thunder, his pupils turned blood-red, and a pair of blood-red wings composed of blood flames with a wingspan of over three meters appeared on his back!

This is the effect of the mutated bloodline resulting from the combination of his vampire bloodline and the "Forbidden Fruit of God"!

According to Jiang Liu's assessment, Zheng Zha, who had activated his second-stage state, was already as strong as Zhang Zhiwei, and even slightly stronger.

The basic building block of internal force and vampire energy is also Qi, at least in Jiang Liu's understanding.

But there is an obvious fact right now: when these two forms of energy are circulating in the body, they are more suitable for fighting.

And Qi—

It is more suitable for tempering life itself.

That is, they place greater emphasis on spiritual practice.

"Okay."

Jiang Liu indicated to Zheng Zha that he could exit the gene lock state.

Zheng Zha hurriedly exited his second-tier state, his aura weakening considerably.

no doubt.

Activating the first and second-order gene locks takes a huge toll on the body, but Zheng Zha was extremely excited: "In the past, when I closed my gene locks, my body couldn't handle it at all, and it would even suffer great damage. But now, with my internal energy circulating through my body and the vampire energy stabilizing my physical body, I'm just a little hungry."

After saying that, he took out a large amount of food from his storage ring and began to eat it ravenously. His pale face immediately became much rosier, and he was full of excitement.

At that moment, Jiang Liu unleashed an extremely powerful aura, invisible yet giving everyone present a sense of oppression, which vanished in an instant.

This surprised everyone present.

"A hallucination?"

Zhan Lan was puzzled.

"You've unlocked your genetic potential! For the first time?" Chu Xuan keenly recognized Jiang Liu's current state. "And you've directly reached the second tier?"

"I've never turned it on before."

Jiang Liu didn't hide anything, "The purpose of Qi cultivation is to temper one's life force. In fact, the earliest version of one of my techniques is quite similar to the first three stages of the Gene Lock system, called the Triple Rebirth. The first stage teaches one to possess the strength of a dragon and tiger, and sharp reflexes; the second stage allows one to control the internal organs, corresponding to control over 90% of the body's flesh and blood; the third stage involves the brain, achieving complete control over the entire body..."

My research on Zheng Zha led me to realize that the key to unlocking the gene lock actually lies here—”

Jiang Liu pointed to the brain, "Among the techniques I have learned, there is one that I call 'The Realm of Illusion,' which I comprehended based on the fluctuations of the Buddha's hair relic. It allows me to more accurately observe the fluctuations of other people's magnetic fields, especially their brain magnetic fields."

When Zheng Zha activated the first and second stages of the gene lock, the fluctuations in his brain magnetism exhibited a very special turbulent state, thus affecting the magnetism of the entire body.

Under normal circumstances, such phenomena only occur when emotions are extremely heightened... Therefore, through internal cultivation of life force, adjusting my own brain's magnetic turbulence, and coordinating with my own human magnetic field to adjust my mind and body, I have thus mastered the first and second order gene locks.

It must be said that the gene lock system was indeed an explosive force in the early stages, but it placed extremely high demands on the body.

If one's life force is weak, unlocking the genetic lock is tantamount to suicide.

how to say?

The gene lock system is a perfect match for Qi cultivation, a practice that can temper one's life force!

As for the third stage of gene lock, Jiang Liu has also figured out a bit of the trick. Combining that bit of inspiration, he can almost simulate anyone's thought patterns and action plans. If combined with the "Heavenly Dao" formed by constructing the Qimen in his mind, he can even simulate future developments within a certain range.

The simulation range will continue to increase as Jiang Liu's cultivation level improves, but the simulation difficulty will increase as the number of intelligent beings within that range increases.

After all, the human species is inherently unpredictable, especially given the existence of emotions and desires, which means that human behavior may not always follow the logical assumptions of rational thinking.

However, Jiang Liu quickly came up with a solution: implant a light spot into everyone to build a huge communication network, which would naturally be able to perfectly simulate the network!

This idea is too bizarre; we can't do this to our own family...

Upon having the thought, Jiang Liu immediately set it aside...

# Chapter 333 A Slight Shift in Mindset! The Future Will Be Better Than the Present!

Jiang Liu picked up a carton of milk that Zheng Zha had taken out of his storage ring, opened the lid, took a sip, and asked casually, "It tastes pretty good! People in the future must be living much better lives than they are now, right?"

"actually······"

Zheng Zha wanted to say that the future world wasn't so wonderful, but when he thought about the fact that this was the Republic of China, with warlords fighting each other and the people suffering and possibly losing their lives at any time, he suddenly realized how lucky and happy the "reality" he came from was compared to the future world that Jiang Liu was in now.

Although his real life was a mess—his girlfriend died and his job was boring—at least he had enough to eat and drink, and he had parents who cared about him.

And what about the river flowing before us?

"Your parents must love you very much, right?" Zheng Zha asked.

"No, I'm an orphan. I was raised by a 'thief' with a conscience." Jiang Liu said calmly as he drank his milk.

"······Feel sorry."

Zheng Zha wanted to slap himself. Thinking about it carefully, Jiang Liu was only seventeen, yet he was so mature. It was clear what kind of experiences he had gone through during his growth. How could he bring up other people's sad stories?

"Indeed, you still need to work on your character. Being emotional doesn't mean being sentimental."

Jiang Liu put down the empty milk bottle and asked with a grin, "Do you believe in fate?"

"Fate? I don't believe in things like destiny or luck." Having experienced "Resident Evil 1" and "Alien 1", Zheng Zha still retains a bit of naivety, but he also understands that he can't rely on luck to get through the horror movies set up by the main god.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died.

"However, in the concept of destiny, the word 'fate' has another interpretation: one is 'fate,' which refers to the innate nature bestowed upon us; the other is 'fortune,' which refers to the ups and downs of life at different stages."

Jiang Liu was speaking to both Zheng Zha and Chu Xuan: "A person's fate is determined at birth. Your background, appearance, parents, and innate endowments and physical condition cannot be changed."

That's fate.

But the character, skills, and temperament shaped by various experiences acquired later in life—

"One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black."

Or will they not change their original intentions?

It's all up to you.

Zheng Zha was taken aback. He stared at Jiang Liu for a while before asking, "Is this the effect of cultivating one's mind and nature?"

"If that's what you think, then so be it. But there aren't any specific methods for cultivating one's temperament." Jiang Liu smiled, picked up another apple, took a bite, and asked, "Can I eat this?"

"You've already spoken, why are you still asking me?" Zheng Zha was speechless, but a genuine smile appeared on his face.

Jiang Liu and Chu Xuan are similar in some ways, but not in others. Jiang Liu is considerate of others' feelings, and being with him brings him a sense of peace.

If Jiang Liu were to become a reincarnator as well, he might be a better fit to be the captain of this team!

strength!

ability!

character!
